Are those all US based companies?
- pcthrowaway 3y agoExactly. Salaries with Canadian companies pale in comparison to U.S. salaries, with perhaps a few exceptions. When the market was piping hot in early 2022 I was fielding a few offers and the highest a Canadian company got me (as someone with 8-9 YoE at the time) was 95K (USD). U.S. companies were offering in the range of 120K-150K. Although I made a huge mistake and took a counteroffer at a lower salary from the company I already worked with, which came with a significant retention bonus (and verbal promise of stock + additional bonuses which never materialized). Now I'm making about 70K USD as a lead. Which is probably more than I'd get from a Canada-based company right now to be fair.
